RE³

Responding Effectively to Emotional Expressions

Our new emotional skills training tool – Responding Effectively to Emotional Expressions(RE³) – focuses on a central core of emotional intelligence. Our first suite of training tools – which included METT and SETT – opened your eyes to recognizing concealed emotions and learning how to spot when an emotion is just emerging. Once you know how someone is feeling, RE³ is the next step.

Now you can learn how to best initially respond to a person’s emotions during difficult exchanges. To our knowledge, no one has ever provided online training to acquire this vital skill.

RE³ Complete Combo

$119

You’ll learn the most by using all three. We encourage you to try each demo to see how to best respond to the various emotional expressions.

RE³ Criminal Justice
